Today I figured out some sndiod flags. Actually, I had been
shooting myself in the foot somehow trying to run sndiod in
-ddd ebugmode. sndiod is the openbsd intermediate sound
device wrangler. My desire is to use sndio's mon rec device
to let me record all system sounds together in a
what-you-hear-is-what-you-get kind of way. I set the flags
of sndiod as follows.
rcctl set sndiod flags -f rsnd/0 -F rsnd/1 \
-s default -m play,mon -s mon
When I was spitballing earlier, I just did -m mon not
play,mon. Eh, it works.
rcctl restart sndiod
<anonradio playing>
aucat -f snd/mon -o anonradio.wav
Whence I can just produce sounds, hopefully deliberately,
and record them in sum from that device. As we speak, a
round of synth battle royale is beginning. In my dreams I
will get into the next one. (And then I can start worrying
about how to begin producing sounds (printf \"\a\"...
rhythmically)).
After which the only technical challenge is finding out how
to icecast2 to anonradio (and prostrating myself before the
council of encumbent DJs). I see net/ices in the openbsd
ports, perl script mp3 source for icecast/2.
The nontechnical challenge I am imagining is to try writing
some simf DSL and run it from the repl, or otherwise
building an SDL2 gui from which to use sdl2-mixer (if I use
a bunch of mp3s or something). I'm not sure about m3u
playlist item communication. Geeettting somewhere.
